Tom McGraw's head coach Stephen Bradley, I I think the first thing I have to ask you about is Keane Barrett. Um can you maybe just bring me through what happened to Keane tonight?
What happened is he's he's got uh He's got tackled with a horrendous tackle from a coward of a left back that's waited for the referee to blow the whistle. Keene stopped and he's gone to doom. Um there's there's career career's that end over the that type of tackle. And for the referee not to see it and uh it's really worrying. Uh the left back's getting up, smiling, laughing. It's not the smile about there, you know, everyone In the game of football there's tough tackles, of course. Everyone's competitive. The game was stopped, the ref blew the whistle and he's gone in from the side and uh behind and really gone to hurt them. And uh it's a coward. It's a coward's tackle. Um and it needs to be looked at.
Um we got banned three games last week for Pika for violent conduct. Well for me that's the worst tackle I've seen in this league for ten years. It's awful. And uh
What happened to Cian Barrett and how serious is his injury?
Or maybe he has seen it and I thought it is his is really worried.
Really worried. 'Cause I think it came after he blew the whistle for the initial free, but then that tackle came after that, didn't it?
Yeah, it the game was stopped, Keen had stopped. Thirty hit, the whistle, it stopped. And like I said, the left back knows exactly what he's doing and he's gone to hortem. He's not he knows the game stopped. And for not even the referee not even to speak to him, to just allow it to go on. Like I said, I've seen careers ended with challenges like that. That's not acceptable. It's not good enough. And um the worrying thing is the ref hasn't seen it or else he's seen it and not acted. And uh both of them situations and scenarios are are deeply concerning for me. Really, really worrying. And uh that needs to be looked at.
Yeah, I'll come back to you because there was s some stuff that went on the first half with the officiating. They just on on Keane and it was Bobby Burns that tackled him. Did you speak to Bobby or even care on Calduff about the tackle either during the match or after?
Did you s well it's a coward's tackle. He knows exactly what he's going to do there. I if Keane is facing 'em it's a fifty fifty, it's a tackle, that's football. Sometimes you come out the wrong end of them. That's that's the way it goes. People get injured. Um, that's a carrot's tackle. And that needs to be looked at. Um, there needs to be a heavy band there for that. That's that's not acceptable and to be getting up and smiling and kissing these lips at people and uh be proud of what he's done there is is really, really worrying. And uh especially from our players. who's done nothing in his career. Absolutely nothing. Um, gone around like that with a chip on his shoulder and trying to hope people when the game is stopped is i is really, really poor.
Really poor. Really poor.
And unfortunately for poor Kane because I think he took about three or four challenges after and he was limping around. Now look I know you were in a difficult situation. You'd made your five substitutions. Did he say to you, I want to keep going here? Like he he looks like that kinda even Richie Tow was commentating me, he said he's a really he's a tough lad, like Keane.
He he's had to fight all his life, all his career, to get here. He's a tough kid, he fights. Um
I know you you couldn't take him off.
Why does Stephen Bradley call the tackle on Barrett a ‘coward’s tackle’ and what should be done?
No, if you had a wanted come off, of course he would have taken him off. His his health is number one to us, that's the priority. But he felt he could play on and that probably sums him up, that uh he was in so much pain, it was clear to see, but he wanted to continue and fight for the team and then he just couldn't continue.
